hello from Utah. i have been a pipe user, off and on for 27 years. style of pipe=== any thing with a long stem( not a churchwarden fanatic, but wont turn one down either) as for tobacco=== a light burly flake/aromatic. pitty i have to travel out of state to buy any thing at a deceant price( cant order any thing on-line, due to Utah's insane tobacco laws)
